There is no restricting God to answer to, so why not do as we want and to heck with doing what we need to do. The Corrupt work hard to take God and morality out of our thinking and our existence. The only god is the State; the high priests are the Politicians; Legality rules, not the Ten Commandments.

I think I know more than I want to know about his character already.

He has a pension and benefits to lose so, Congress will have to include that in any immunity granted his testimony.

Keep in mind, liberals typically circle the wagons and defend their own regardless of how aggregiously morals and values have been compromised. That is, unless, they become a liability to something or someone greater.
Then, they isolate, target and execute the threat. It’s a simple and effective war strategy. If you don’t want the enemy to advance on you, burn the bridge.
They have discredited the General but he has himself to blame. The democrats and Obama will come out squeeky clean because now the General can also be blamed for Bengazi.
We’ll see if the General comes clean and tells all or tries to salvage his only avenues back to a normal existance.
I expect, sadly, he’ll “commit suicide” in the next couple of weeks. That will be tragic too and I pray I am wrong. But it follows the natural path to secure total secrecy and “protect America” from finding the truth.

When youre evaluating yourself, what qualities do you try to focus on?
Petraeus: On every bit of guidance I give, the last instruction is: Learn and adapt. We also work very hard on [being] **first with the truth**. Thats a powerful admonition: First of all, were going to **tell the truth**. Were not going to put lipstick on pigs. Were going to be absolutely **100% forthright** and **brutally honest** with not just with ourselves and with our subordinates and our superiors but **with the press**. The credibility of leaders is of enormous importance.
How do you identify which officers are going to make the best leaders?
Petraeus: There has to be a foundational level of just sheer physical fitness. As we say sometimes, soldiering is still an outdoor sport. There is a certain degree of mental toughness. Theres obviously **integrity**. There is sheer professional expertise technical and tactical competence. But what then starts, I think, to separate the future stars from the rest of the pack are some other qualities. And now youre getting into judgment, **just hugely important**. Whether you think about it or not, subconsciously, **who** do you go to when you really want to **bounce** an idea off someone? Thats the person who has judgment that you value.

I know already. Nothing has not been exposed about what he is really like. Today is the first day of redemption if he chooses to select it.

No, we won’t. The investigation is obviously still unfolding and the principals are still under threat of charges. Petraeus may show loyalty to his mistress over country, for example, and feel morally justified in doing so. IOW, the ongoing investigation, FBI raids, etc., mean there are hostages involved.

I think he’s done a pretty good job of demonstrating his character already.

"or will he quietly sneak away like so many cowards who have graced the ranks of the Obama Regime?" They have pictures. He's not saying anything.
